fujitsubo

[wickedtyper]

anyone like the fujitsubo exhasts for a dc2? either the rm01a or the power getter.... ??? im thinking of gettin this its only $1000 to melbourne... but im not sure bout it... anyone know anything and also what the difference between the two is?

[arron]

not 100% sure about the differences but FUJITSUBO exhausts are real top quality products from Japan. FUJITSUBO are also responsible for manufacturing alot of other top-end Japanese brands of exhaust.

Surprising, alot of Japanese brand exhausts are now being made in Taiwan/Thailand/Korea instead which is really affecting the quality of their products. FUJITSUBO is not one of them.

In terms of performance, you can't go wrong with either choice. The RM01A is slightly more expensive than the POWER GETTER but this is probably due to the fact that the RM01A apparently produces more power. (don't have any dyno charts to back this up unfortunately)

Ive been looking into getting a FUJITSUBO exhaust myself rather than some other common Japanese brands (mainly due to good things ive heard about FUJITSUBO's exhausts).

hope that at least answered some part of your question...
and yes... i am picky with my exhausts...

[wickedtyper]

thanks alot dude that helped alot!!!!!!!! im very picky too.... however the dyno charts on fujitsubo show the rm01a and powergetter have power differences that are very little comparing the two.... however its not for a dc2 type r so who knows???? which of the two would u reccomend? the thing i do know is that the rm01a has lower decibel ratings and because of that i figure its being restricted more... so i guess ill go with the powergetter considering its only $1000 shipped to melbourne...

[hui]

yeh, fujitsubo make top quality exhaust's i have the rmo1a and couldnt be more happy with it.

[[RSX 03]]

you really can't go wrong with Fujitsubo, Real top quality.

[haiz]

yeah i also have the RM01A and will probably never go with any other type of exhaust, the quality is amazing, top knotch products man

[Perry]

with the powergetter the zorst tip sticks out a bit from the rear bar and the RM01A zorts tip sits perfect but i was advised the powergetter gives better gains

[xtercii]

only downside to me is they are too quiet.

[vtml]

I have the rm01a, nice and quiet when driving like a granny and idle, just how I like it, no attention from the cops at all.

[hui]

only downside to me is they are too quiet.

get headers and high flow cat, and you'll see it's not that quiet.

[simbadda54]

with the powergetter the zorst tip sticks out a bit from the rear bar and the RM01A zorts tip sits perfect but i was advised the powergetter gives better gains

It only sticks out cos ur meant to get a lip to even it out :P On an EK anyways

[juzz]

yea i've got the fujitsubo power getter and i found noticeable gains after switching from my replica mugen twin loop to the powergetter. sounds awesome thru vtec.

[ON XTC]

i say go the power getter. heard it on an ekvtir and it sounds sweet. not that loud unless u give it a good hit.

[[CRA23]]

any had a fujitsubo exhast manafold??

i know there exhausts are very good quality and make good gains but ive never seen any one with their manifold?

[_FeRiO_]

the RM01A is also lighter than powergetter.

wickedtyper: where is the place where u got the quote from. Could u give me their number.

cheers.

[1900-hustler]

the power getter sticks out abit from the rear..

jus get it cut professionally to sit inline with the rear bar.

not sure if it affects performance.. but pretty sure it wouldnt

[Perry]

kool i was referring to the dc's:)

heres the pic of the header:

is that the basic version or the more expencive version?

would you say it would it could be in the same range as the toda header?

[spoondc2]

The difference between the cheaper and expensive version is the expensive version are polished inside

[[CRA23]]

i was tryin to work out the difference, the basic seems to have a strait down pipe were as the other one has a slight bend half way down

get headers and high flow cat, and you'll see it's not that quiet.

i got headers and high flow cat with my powergetter and its quiet as wen drivn normal. but wen u give it, it screams pretty loud with the help of the air intake. best exhaust goin aoround without that drowny noise. :thumbsup:

[_FeRiO_]

does anyone know how loud the RM-01a is compared to the mugen twin loop.

[hui]

i got headers and high flow cat with my powergetter and its quiet as wen drivn normal. but wen u give it, it screams pretty loud with the help of the air intake. best exhaust goin aoround without that drowny noise. :thumbsup:

i have the FGK super EX header, SARD highflow cat and RMO1A catback. with normal driving, i can live with the noise level, but when vtec kicks in, it friggin loud!

i use the powergetter silencer to help minimize noise and keep my neighbours happy:thumbsup:

[[CRA23]]

Hui : howd you find the performance increase, thats the combo im looking at currently, i dont ahve a huge issue with the volume but quiter the better for the police side of things :D

[hui]

im really happy with this fgk combo, the quality and the finish of both header and catback is:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

noticed a significant power gain in vtec, but not so much in the lower rev range.

[ek4-guy]

ive got toda header with a test pipe and a RM01A and mine isnt loud at all

[dciverson]

i am using FGK, 4-1 headers with jdm cat, with RM01A...
i got a full range revs go up a lot faster,
when the vtec kick in, i feels really different from a stock car, and i also compare this with my fd's stocks dc2r, 4-1 headers give a faster responds in the full ranges, like the stock car usually have a slow reaction in the low revs, but after i use this combo, i feels totally respond!!

[Dylanamus]

I have an FGK 4-2-1 header on my b16a CRX and when I was test driving other SiRs that didn't have the FGK header [but still had the same style exhaust (normal cat with 2.5" catback)], the difference was actually notable. It's a good header, but mine came with my car, so I have no idea how much they cost and whether or not other headers in that price range would be better.

I have a FGK exhaust too, but I'm not sure which one. It has a calm sporty tone before VTEC, then it gets a lot more attention. It's good

[[CRA23]]

kewl, thats what i wanted to know Thanks Guys!

[seraphina]

i've got a stock dc2 vtir and just about to install a:
fujitsubo 4-1 header
jdm type r cat
rm01a cat back
what sort of gains should i expect???

[haiz]

i've got a stock dc2 vtir and just about to install a:

WOAH! what a coincidence, ive got the same car, same RM01A catback, and the same Fujitsubo headers and jdm cat are coming in two weeks. but ive got a full CAI on my car. still wierd we're gona be running the same setup

[seraphina]

WOW, that is a coincidence as the next mod is going to be CAI.
how have you found the fuji exhaust?

[haiz]

only my exhaust is on at the moment, my headers and cat will be arriving shortly. cant wait though!

[hui]

only my exhaust is on at the moment, my headers and cat will be arriving shortly. cant wait though!

how did you fit the RMO1A without the jdm cat and header?

[1900-hustler]

i've got a stock dc2 vtir and just about to install a:
fujitsubo 4-1 header
jdm type r cat
rm01a cat back
what sort of gains should i expect???

how much did this setup cost you and where did you get ?

[seraphina]

^^ i got the whole thing for 1100 and getting it onto my car was 120
my boyfriend found it for me from some guy who wanted a quick sale

its been about 2 months now and so far so good :D

[seraphina]

only my exhaust is on at the moment, my headers and cat will be arriving shortly. cant wait though!

hey haiz
how are you finding yours?

[haiz]

my order on my fuji headers was cancelled =( but thats given me the excuse to go for better headers, now im looking at either spoon or mugen :thumbsup:

[typsy]

i've got a stock dc2 vtir and just about to install a:
fujitsubo 4-1 header
jdm type r cat
rm01a cat back

sounds like a good set up.
let us know how the car performs after these mods.

[1900-hustler]

sounds like a good set up.
let us know how the car performs after these mods.

i think its already put on her car - were all the parts you got new? or 2nd hand? $1100 for all that is pretty good

[seraphina]

i had it put on about nearly two months ago
i got it second hand - it was smelling up because they guy i bought it off had a plastic bag caught onto the extractors :(

typsy - vtec is more responsive now and when im cruising there is no ugly droning noise :D

[haiz]

so has the smell of the headers gone away? lol

[seraphina]

^^ yeah its gone now! :D
so happy i decided on the fujitsubo because it isnt loud and annoying like others ive heard
was a bit weary on it at the start but my boyfriend convinced me :p

have you decided what you're gonna get yet?

[haiz]

yeah im happy with my RM01A as well, ive sat in other cars with other brand exhausts and its either i come out deaf or i am hiding bcoz it sounds so tinny/farty.

yeah ive decided on what i wana get now, cant wait to get my hands on it now

[GOODAN]

Where are you getting the RM01A from? I'm thinking of getting one soon...

[haiz]

Goodan look around in the traders section, a couple of them are selling the RM01A :thumbsup: good choice champ

[_FeRiO_]

got the RM01A on my em1. great sounding zorst. really quite. u can hardly hear it idling.

[XP02ED]

any1 knoe if the RM01A fit on stock dc5 cat?

planning to get one this weekend, although dunno if im gna have to fork out extra cash to buy new header and cat.. if so would JDM headers, dunno about hi flow cat but any suggestions?

[Tofu]

^ it will fit

if you want to get any jdm brand header you will need to change your front sway bar.

[XP02ED]

oh maen, what header will you recommend for this exhaust? dont wna spend a mill, hahaha and cat too?

[X8TEENX]

toda would be recog.

[dyljoy]

I will get RM01A next week, and I ordered TODA header as well, hope it will come next week, yeah, if u want change header, u need to get EP3 sway bar~

[XP02ED]

yeh i heard! hahaha dyljoy! let me know how it goes! im keep on the rm01a too! i hear alot of good stuff!

although im thinking of getting the WHOLE system already ie, headers and cat

any1 got recommendations on high flow cat? Toda says get s2000 cat?

[dyljoy]

i want to know whch cat suitable as well~anyone can answer it?

[XP02ED]

you know how every1 says you gta change front sway bar if you get aftermarket headers...

what if you dont want to put one? or dont put one at that time but by the ep3 sway bar later on. that possible?

PS! maybe hook up a new thread regarding the cat! but im still waiting on an answer 2

[mikul_ha]

you have to replace the OEM swaybar to any JDM swaybar to give room for the new jdm header.

i dont know what would happen if you drive you car without a front swaybar (total oversteer?) and i wouldnt wana try it either.

with the hi flow cat, dont think theres much difference between brands. correct me if im wrong. just dont get a cheapo one :)

[mikul_ha]

im also getting my fujitsubo powergetter real soon. thanks to jdmyard!

i was initially going to get the rm01a as well, but i couldnt justify the extra 250 bucks over the powergetter. i've read many threads and cant find anyone stating which one is better and why.

[XP02ED]

so u getting it from JDM yard?

hmmm yeh iono ive read some stuff if im gna spend 1g, might as well go for rm01a, let us know how it gfoes

[mikul_ha]

250 bucks extra? but why?

only thing ive heard is that the rm01a is quieter then the PG. but then again most fujitsubo exhausts are quiet anyway.

will do, hopefully get the exhaust installed before the weekend.

[[RSX 03]]

RMO1A is the shit!!

[XP02ED]

dunno i guess if im gna spend for my car 250 aint much if your spending 1g + hehe

i heard alot of good stuff from the rm01a so yeh! but im intrested in what cat to actualy get, some say it dont matter but s2k cat sounds good, to bad i dont see many for sale

[[RSX 03]]

http://www.clubitr.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=1640

this dude is selling his FGK PG, pretty good price.

[XP02ED]

i would so buy that if i can actually see the bloody thread! im a member no permission yet!

can you pm him? or tell him to pm me, XP02ED

thanks!

[dyljoy]

I will get RM01A from him soon as well, hope it will come tomorrow, coz he just told me sent today, can't wait, hoho

[XP02ED]

anyone know specs on the pg or rm01a?

2.5" pipping? 3" tiP ?

[XP02ED]

ok u were right 60.5mm

i wonder though isnt stock for dc5 2.5 ?

[Hullabaloo]

for all those who say rm01 is so good, why do you choose that over power getter?

[hui]

both are good quality exhaust... reason why i chose the rmo1a was because it was more quite and that the tip on the rmo1a didnt stick out as much.

[dyljoy]

Hi, all guys, Just got my RM01A from JDMYard, 10000 X Thank to Yonas. Quick shippment and Good stuffs~ and i just can't wait to install them this afternoon. Didn't try to hear the sound when Vtec kick in, but during normal driving situation, it sounds deep and quiet, just what the style i look forward. here are some pics which show as below, hope everyone can enjoy them, cheers~:thumbsup:

Ya, post up pic once ur get ur PowerGetter in

[XP02ED]

OMG! ME JEALOUS! hahaha VERY NICE! if you can hook us up with some sound :P

PS : any1 know the specs on the item? how bigs the tip? how bigs the piping?

[dyljoy]

I can't record its sound yet, but if u want i can give u a simple provided by Fuji.

ooo damn comp doesnt play rm files, oh well..
did you do the install? easy? just bolts?

maen i might go order one now :S

PS : what header u gna be using

[dyljoy]

ya, i did, but i ask workshop do that for me, coz not a big deal as $75 to done. If u want to fit by urself and also get some tools to jack up the car, i think is not a problem to put it on, coz just direct bolts on. Hey, ask JDMYard right now, they may have more coming this week. cheers~

[mikul_ha]

just got my powergetter, WOOT WOOT thanks to jdmyard!!!

[dyljoy]

Hey, show us the pic and sound file if possible, hoho~

we have lots of rm01 and power getter coming for both dc2 and dc5 this or early next week!

was there a reason for that thread to be locked? it was very resourceful compared to any info on other forums, it disappeared like a silent fart

[joey99]

not sure if it's the same on a silvia and a integra ... I had both a power getter and a RM01A on my S15. I personally loved the RM01A ... it was quiet and it goves a much much better low-mid end .. which was perfect for traffic driving everyday. I think it had a slightly smaller diameter somewhere in the piping which gives it abit more back pressure.
the power getting is very straight and has a big diameter and this gave it a big top end but lost alot of the low-id rannge which made it very much crap in traffic as I'd have to rev the hell out of it to catch up with traffic.

I ahven't tried these aon a honda .. but I can say that fuji make the best quality exhausts I"ve seen.

[dc2r]

so can anyone provide pictures of both exhausts when installed on a dc2r? i'm interested particularly on pics of the PG...

[haiz]

The tip of the PG sticks out a fair bit on a dc2R compared the the RM01A

but maybe thats just my opinion.

ive got the RM01A and it sits fine on my dc2

[dc2r]

yes i knew that pg sticks out and rm01a is flush, that's why i'm asking if anyone has pics, even personal ones... just need a comparison between the two.

[TheSaint]

how does the RM01A compare to the mugen twin-loop?

[dc2r]

how does the RM01A compare to the mugen twin-loop?

not really on topic, however if u want to know, they're both top quality and reliable exhausts. mugen twin-loop is a very quiet exhaust, and even though rm01a is not a loud exhaust, mugen is still quieter. in terms of performance, similar again... mugen costs more by a few hundred though.

back on topic... anyone have pics of the fgk rm01a and pg actually on the car on a dc2r?

[TheSaint]

thanx for the info, i dont see how its off topic though

[didz]

Actually no we don't.

[joey99]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR-uRZ-ljvs
just found this on youtube with a DC2R with toda header and RM01A

sound nice :) nice and deep .. no farty noise at all

got to say that's one of the nicest notes I"ve heard on any honda

[EG30]

thanks for the youtube find joey99, I'm sold on the RM01A now. Always wanted to get a toda 4-2-1 for our dc2r but unsure about the rear muffler.

So looks like for the cat back it's going to be either the Mugen twinloop or RM01A for our DC2R.

[joey99]

I"m thinking of the same exhaust ... so yeah .. the sound has sold me on it too

[[RSX 03]]

RM01a has a more race sound to it.

PG sounds like a fart can.

No offense to anyone with PG.

RM01A is more about mid range gain.

PG is more about top end gains.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

[wickedtyper]

hey guys.... i own the toda 4-2-1 headers with the powergetter exhaust, apparently the rmo1a is quiter then this and my power getter is fairly quiet but im very happy with it.... so either one is quite good.... however the powergetter is rated at getting more power and is lighter due to different/less resonators :)

[joey99]

;1168345']RM01a has a more race sound to it.

PG sounds like a fart can.

No offense to anyone with PG.

RM01A is more about mid range gain.

PG is more about top end gains.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

I think that sums it up quite well. just like the RM01A on the S15 .. it gains heaps on the low/mid range. the PG has less back pressure with a slightly larger diameter pipe. and I think the ITRs have good top end already ... a little low end wouldn't hurt.

[Hullabaloo]

Does anyone know how much more top end gain the PG has over the RM01a? How about mid range gain of the RM01a vs the PG?

How about the weight difference? _FeRio_ said the RM01a is lighter where as wickedtyper said the PG is lighter.

[wickedtyper]

ill most likely agree with both those comments as i have a PG..... however most exhausts on an itr have a fart type characteristic on them.... and lets face it, the difference between the two exhausts on power gains is goin to be minimal.... lets just focus and say that fujitsubo make top quality exhausts and either would be an excellent option.

[matt]

;1168345']PG sounds like a fart can.


so your saying the Toda catback effectively sounds like a fartcan, ive had both and they sound pretty similar...

[wickedtyper]

just to add... the pg tip sits flush with the stock bar... it jus appears as sitting out further from over the top view.... it has straighter and bigger diameter piping... which essentially gives more power top end but loses low end.... itr is made to rev out so i got the power getter... hope this helps

[dc2r]

;1168345']RM01a has a more race sound to it.

RM01A is more about mid range gain.

have u actually heard the two different exhausts in real life? because i have only heard them as sound files on the fujitsubo website and on some videos. the PG sounded deeper than RM01 and neither of them sounded like fart cans as you say... listening to the sound files off FGK website, the PG actually sounds better than the RM01.

of course, the sound of an exhaust would also be dependent on other mods of the car including headers and engine internals, etc. so maybe this 'fart can' that you heard had other mods to make it sound the way it did?

but yes, PG is top end and RM01 is mid...

calm down brothers, i didn't mean to diss the PG.

when i said fart can, i meant in low revs. when the exhaust vibrates.

[kongfu]

I've had two RM01A on my DC5R before. Vote for the RM01A catback.

RM01A is the top range from Fujitsubo also its the most popular one.
